The recipes I’m finding are all for a gallon or more at a time, do you think it’s worth doing a smaller test batch (like 1/2 gallon) or does it work better with the whole gallon?
The downside of brewing small batches of mead is that you might like it and depending on your brewing method it takes quite a lot to make. I made 5L at one point, took 6 months to clear in primary (I’m lazy, no secondary here) and it then… erm… evaporated in about 2 months. Then I started 10L batches. Thinking of just doing 20L now.
Would be amazing
